New British Marksman Champion Attributes Success to LASIK

Russell Simmonds has always aspired to be a world champion marksman. However, his poor vision posed a great obstacle to accomplishing this goal.

In 2002, Simmonds had Wavefront LASIK surgery performed to improve his vision. As a result of his LASIK surgery, he now has better than 20/20 vision. The improvements to his eyesight have greatly contributed to his ability to hone his shooting skills over the last seven years.

Recently, Simmonds was finally able to achieve his goal. Last November, he became the F class British champion and European champion. As a result, he will get to represent Great Britain in the World Marksman Championships later this year.

There are many other athletes and competitors across the world who have experienced similar boosts in performance thanks to successful laser eye surgery. Advances in LASIK technology have made the procedure much safer for athletes in many sports. However, it is important to wait to resume competition until your eyes have completely healed. If you sustain an eye injury before fully healing after your surgery, you risk serious complications and vision loss.
